4 people sick & 1 hospitalized across 2 states to date. 2 products, Emek Spread Pistachio Cacao Cream with Kadayif and Emek Pistachio Cream, are linked to a multistate Salmonella outbreak. Products were sold at World Market retail stores in 32 states. Do not eat, sell, or serve recalled products. Investigation ended.
Who's At Risk?
Salmonella mainly impacts young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Most healthy adults and children rarely become seriously ill after exposure to Salmonella.
Symptoms
Symptoms may include fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (which may be bloody), and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the organism can get into the bloodstream and producing more severe illness such as arterial infections (i.e. infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
